Library disappointment?
Hello, I’ve had Spotify for a long while and have built up some good playlists, one in particular has about 100 tracks in the electronic and ambiance genre. Today I tried Qobuz for better quality, and when I imported my playlists, I got a crazy low import percentage. In the case of my 100 song playlist, just 60 tracks came over, and it was similar with a couple other playlists. Is this just the electronic genre, or will I have better luck with Tidal? For the type of music I like, this blows. Other thing I found odd, when a track or playlist would end, Qobuz would play another song completely random from another genre. In this case from Foofighters to classical violin. Spotify does a great job at suggesting similar music, is this just the experience, or what am I missing?
I’ve had the same experience attempting to transfer my ambient/electronic genre-heavy playlists from Spotify to Qobuz. Between 60-70% would transfer using Soundiiz. Tidal has a greater hit rate between 85%-95% depending on the artists and how deep the tracks were. These particular genres is where Qobuz fell short for me. What Tidal doesn’t have, which Qobuz now has, is the ability to listen to other members’ playlists which I find enjoyable. Supposedly Tidal is working on this per another member’s discussion with them roughly a year or so ago. |
Qobuz is a much newer service if I understand correctly. There were concerns when they started about limited choices but as time's passed that has been allayed. There's no reason to doubt more will be added. My questions to Qobuz were quickly answered concerning the ability to arrange artist albums by chronological order. Perhaps people can send in their recommendations for artist. |
@dadork have you figured out the Qobuz song recommendation issue? Doesn’t seem to have a similar music or playlist radio type function, but maybe I just haven’t found it. When selected music, song or playlist ends, it just starts playing totally random music out of left field. |
